[@studioloraine]

paul’s comments regarding the game shifting to power throws, longer courses and losing the touch of finessing discs and throwing with control is so spot on!

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

Yup! All that ball golf course bomber drives gets so boring to watch.

[@Chris.Davies]

This is why as a serial course designer, I concentrate solely on designing holes which force players to develop a wide range of skills. Length does not make a course great or even good. Great holes are what make a course great. And a wide variety of them is essential. My best advice to players on any new course, when standing on each tee for the first time is, ask yourself: "What's the course designer's intention with this hole?" If you can answer that question correctly, you'll do better than many.

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

@@Chris.Davies Totally appreciated! I understand the PDGA is trying to get spectators to the events themselves, but for us home watchers, the courses they agree on are boring AF. And I imagine there is a lot more eyes from the home viewers than the live spectators. I vastly prefer wooded golf.

[@MountaindewM]

I really do miss the more technical courses that didn't have LONG holes. It is fine to have some holes that are long but some of the courses now just don't look as great.

[@RobRoane]

He’s also designing courses that are long af though

[@brianfeatherstone7804]

What I love the most is how humble Paul is. You look at a lot of pro athletes, and their egos are through the roof.

[@arrowhead9027]

lol have you met drew himself😂 nothing screams ego like Him

[@DrewGibson]

Thanks for watching.

[@landonschmidt8761]

​@DrewGibson good comment 😂😂😂

[@tylertrefethen]

Let me ask this: Would you be able to achieve the heights that many pro athletes have without a deep belief in yourself?

[@jreu2e]

@@arrowhead9027 Are you saying that Drew is egotistical? I've seen him at a tournament and he was a stand up guy. That said, he's forthright and confident, which might come off as arrogant if you feel threatened by confident people.

[@daveslocum5625]

Love that Paul recognizes Calvin has it all

[@Sarnoth1984]

I can only imagine someone of his level saying that to me. It would be hard to comprehend, such an amazing compliment.

[@discgolflife]

Drew, you do a great job at giving interviews. You briefly turned McBeast into an extrovert. I love the insight and stories 🤌🏼.

[@DrewGibson]

Thank you ❤

[@tylerdennis6361]

This is a really incredible conversation to have on film - it 100% feels like "footage" rather than "content" You can tell these two have spent a lot of time together because the entire time Paul is talking to Drew (and vice versa) rather than the camera

[@joshuaknott9565]

Good answer on the “GOAT” conversation Paul. Real respectable

[@clintsawyer7702]

No kidding... Compare that to LeBron. No way on earth he'd respond like that.

[@jessehenderson836]

I never wanna see a DGPT event on a golf course ever again. Back to the woods and technical shots and skill.

[@jomica77]

Time has blown by so quickly for this 70 year old grandpa casual disc golfer. It was about nine years ago that I was a gallery fan watching Paul, Ricky and Simon on a lead card playing a tournament on a Saturday at La Mirada park where I play several times a week. Back then I was in awe just watching all three competing and showing their best stuff. We mere mortals could only dream of driving a disc those distances. And the best part is doing a search on KZbin on that tournament and seeing myself in the background just amazed at their playing skills. At age 33, Paul still has much left in the tank for at least another seven more years. And yes, Paul has to shed at least 25 pounds to get to his optimal best shape to stay in the hunt in each tournament entered.

[@dalereinhold640]

Let’s go Paul!💪💪 Drew’s guests and questions are great content! Keep up the great work Drew! 😎

[@DrewGibson]

Appreciate it!!

[@ilikesnow]

"Bodanza or whatever" lol. Killin it with these practice round videos. Great playing last week man!

[@DrewGibson]

Appreciate it!

[@Quixote56]

Only a matter of time before Paul shows up on his channel

[@DanTheDiscMan]

Somehow someway, the camera finds Calvin always 😂

[@JustinWayneDawg]

And I absolutely love it 😂

[@inediblekiwi]

I assume he must practice a ton, so he's just always on the course.

[@tksf]

dude i was just gonna comment that Calvin is like the new Thomas Gilbert where he just appears magically wherever there's a camera lol

[@tdkempton]

Love these slow paced conversation based rounds. The conversation is so much more interesting and this is better than a podcast. Keep it up.

[@DrewGibson]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@5th-Season]

Dude is only 33 and he a foundation building courses all around the world, and multi million dollar contracts… and he’s very humble.

[@LesterDG]

I normally don’t watch disc golf video that has too much chatting instead of throwing, but this is an exemption. One of the best videos ever that I’ve watch and great to learn more about our favorite players’ personalities/character and disc golf thru the eyes of the G.O.A.T.

[@stuartautr3441]

Drew has overtaken every other disc golfer in terms of quality content. Hell yeah Drew. Keep killing it

[@DrewGibson]

I greatly appreciate that! No editor. No coattails. Just a guy with a camera finding his way.

[@user-yr9de6eh4y]

Damn Drew hinting at Paul out his prime as a psyop to put Paul back on top lolol

[@bosoxdanc1]

Please! Disc golf is its best when Paul is competing at the top.

[@StuffedBearSus]

@@bosoxdanc1dudes a great commentator also he’s a disc golf savant

[@anthonydewey3555]

I've only ever bought and thrown Innova, but one of the best things about disc golf is the camaraderie and support for each other and from each other. I've learned more from Paul than any other player, just watching how he plays, how he carries himself, and when he speaks, we listen. Keys that really unlocked my game, and are still helping improve.

[@blainehock754]

I love the Paul is putting himself out there more this year.

[@DrewGibson]

Yeah it’s pretty cool to see.

[@providencedivine1]

Freaking Aye, Paul drove cross country with no money for meals; obviously he was going to change the way players got paid. He and his crew had to struggle to pay their way and smaller sponsor helped the best they could; but big sponsors were a bit/lot stingy and tournament payouts were not great. Love of the sport and a determination to change it is what Paul was passionate about and why he is such a great player on and off the course for the game. Climo popularized the sport but Paul will perfect it for future generations.

[@providencedivine1]

Paul never did drugs. Gosh it's embarrassing to think about how drugs could have been the cause in delay of this sport becoming a major sport the way it is pushing forward now.

[@williamjohnson2717]

Excellent interview Drew. Got to hear a side of Paul that I was wanting to hear. Thanks.

[@DrewGibson]

Thanks for watching.

[@CheatingLeftyDiscGolf]

Thank you for the awesome interview Drew! So many don’t get to see this side of Paul, so thank you for having him!

[@LukeNguyen112]

Love y’all talked about the midrange shot and the true turnover type of finesse aspect we don’t see in the game anymore.

[@sparkynate91]

Paul I took 2 years of auto-cad in high school as well! Also we are the same age. But now own my own electrical business and I couldn't be happier than ever

[@juanburgos5041]

Small thing but to have no ego enough to support ab on your bag definition of great character

[@beardedboarder]

Haven’t even finished the video yet, but immediately felt the camaraderie of two veterans talking real talk in a comfortable space and thought “there’s gonna be so many gems in this”. Appreciate both of you making this happen. Great learning space for viewers.

[@lllforgelll2421]

Drew, let me start by saying I've always loved your content. The first reason was to learn from such a smooth backhand form - one of the most fluid in the sport in my opinion. However, it's videos like THESE as of late that will be an upward role for you in the online space. The interview is great, we still see great shots, and you lend a great insight into other sides of these players and yourself that we wouldn't see. Keep 'em rolling dude!

[@nicolaiberg6579]

You're a great host, Drew! And also, Paul is the goat. Tiger Woods had the biggest influence on me when I was growing up. He made golf look cool and got me into the sport of golf. When I discovered disc golf, Paul had the exact same effect on me.

[@DanielJamalPellegrino]

I really enjoy what you are doing out there. Thank you Drew for just be what you can be ✌️

I love your brief fan boy moment. Paul is trying to be humble and you are like “nah you are the GOAT”. I’d probably do the same thing. 😂

These practice rounds are the best disc golf content videos on KZbin. These are real and honest conversations. You have a good thing going here!

[@soxlife6782]

I met paul a couple weeks ago at Oak Grove in Pasadena, he was super nice and it was incredible to see him effortlessly throw a disc. Great Episode.

[@theLizardof0z]

It's great listening to Paul describe how we've lost sight of disc golf when it comes to course design. Today, its all about making courses nothing but long holes and OB. What's great is - his comments are just one day after Ezra and Aaron complain about holes being too short and not belonging having a place on the tour. Paul doesnt come off as a professional snob. I cannot say that about many others.

[@jonob3723]

Obviously loved the chat with Paul. All your interviews are awesome - great pace, good conversation. You have a great thing going. Also low key loved the journeys between holes. On coverage you just see the basket and players starting to walk in one direction.

[@stmn346]

Great video and conversation Drew. You can’t tell the story of DiscGolf without Paul McBeths name. That’s where he stands right now, but IF he gets more than KC, then he’ll proudly wear the title “GOAT “.

[@gscott4791]

This was really great to hear perspective from Paul’s side

Dude great interview with Paul. I’m a person who chose software development as my career path but I always think about how I’d like to flip the script, buy a van and go on tour. Could you please make a video detailing how you made that leap of faith/how you not only survive but thrive on tour as a nomad. I think it’s amazing and I want that life lol. Being good at disc golf helps I’m sure 😂

[@jeffcronch5234]

Paul roasting your youtube game had me rolling. You get views, but I do agree. I see you as a disc golfer, not a youtuber and I see Bodanza as a youtuber who is trying to go pro in disc golf.

This interview is some of the best content in a long time. Great job Drew. Enjoyed it Paul!

[@MarkCooper802]

I think the discussion about sponsorships is interesting, getting businesses to sponsor isn't always about sales, it can also be a pride/involvement thing. Leaning into people in power that are disc golfers is totally worth it.

"We've lost the touch of the game". Crazy to hear from Paul, who has been around a long time. Cole Redalan, a new kid on tour, said almost the exact same thing during the Jomez practice round.

[@DiscGolfAU]

Great video While I am a newbie, introducing in the last twelve months, I agree with Paul’s assessment on the game getting longer. It would be good to see some competitions that take on turnovers and midrange.

Thank you Drew great content! Glad someone finally said what I think some holes are just getting too long and some places they are all long which makes boring to watch and can cause players to get injuries which no one wants and has been happening too much as of late.

[@paw1dawg]

Paul's an awesome person, and a great golfer as well. It was .26c

[@MegaFlorest]

24:55 Mids/Putters have the prettiest flights. Every course needs to have a more wooded section of holes that require low skips, dead straight lines, and floaty approaches. If they're worried about the course having enough room for spectators, you can still achieve this on wide open courses by utilizing a single tree right off the pad to keep the ceiling low. And/or a combination of triple mandos and danger by the basket. I think idealy, at least 1/3 of the holes should be tailored for midsrange discs.

[@rileymehok2913]

Terrific interview with Paul, Drew. I liked it a lot. Thank you kindly. I'm with Paul on this: Ken Climo is the GOAT. So far as I know, no person in the history of sports had EVER won 9 world titles back to back. Ken has 12 overall world titles in total, and I think he has some 6 (six!) Masters World titles as well. And he did it entirely without an X-Step. It is truly a shame that we don't see more of The Champ in the disc golf scene. I'm with Paul of that count, too! Ken is an huge part of the rich history of disc golf, and our sport is poorer for his absence. BRING BACK THE CHAMP! (Chant it with me.)
